Loved this venue location and views of red rocks. Staff greeting was amazing and table was good size for 4 people. Drink menu was plentiful and food options great selection of choices. Waiter SJ was amazing. Great service and personality. Got our orders right and checked back periodically to make sure we were taken care of. The food tasted great and presentation was perfect.

St. George
About the restaurant
A culinary island in Southern Utah, the Painted Pony brings a touch of class--and intriguing flavors--to St. George. The restaurant, tucked away in Ancestor Square, is exceptionally clean and cozy, with contemporary art, fresh flowers, and -- in the evening -- a top notch romantic atmosphere with subdued lighting and patio dining.

If your surroundings don't clue you in, your first glance at the menu will. Painted Pony is not your standard fare. Contemporary American cuisine evidently doesn't mean just another good steakhouse, and the simply written food descriptions promise something new and intriguing for your palate.

The Painted Pony has perfected the fine art of using fresh ingredients and delicate flavoring. An exceptional wine list, generous portions, attentive service, and reasonable prices will convince you to return to "the Pony" anytime you're in St. George.

Best Italian food in St George area. Wonderful flavors. Good selection. Friendly staff. A bit pricey but, occasionally, worth it. Great for special occasions such as when you really need great Italian food.

My chicken piccata was so flavorful ! I’d definitely order that again. My only suggestion is perhaps a different blend of your coffee Americana. Not very smooth. Perhaps River Rock Roasting blend?Everything else was great.
